Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken Set Summer Tour

*During his return to “American Idol” this week, 2003 champ Ruben Studdard announced that he and his runner-up Clay Aiken will co-headline a summer tour across the United States.

The outing launches Jul. 23 in Asheville, NC and wraps up Aug. 14 in Biloxi, MS.

“It is truly a blessing and an honor to be on the stage with my friend,” Studdard said in a statement. “The relationship that we have built over these past eight years will definitely translate into a great show for our fans. And I’m really looking forward to singing the timeless classics every night.”

“I couldn’t ask for a better tour mate. To be able to share the stage with him again is so exciting,” added Aiken. “He is such a talented artist. He inspires me daily and I think that respect and admiration will truly be reflected in our show.”
